The Gregory at The Watermark Hotel is Baton Rouge, Louisiana's premier destination for modern food & wine. Located off the lobby of the hotel, in the former Bank of Louisiana, our restaurant is centered between an open kitchen and a full bar surrounded by murals painted by the artist of who the restaurant is named, Angela Gregory. Chefs Patrick Trahan, Brock Nichols, and Jonathan White design menus that utilize fresh and local produce and available organic proteins that offer twists on Southern classics in a modern farm-to-table menu. As a Louisiana native, Patrick influences Southern cooking styles by employing our wood-stone oven, Spanish Josper oven, and cast-iron grill to elevate flavors and create one-of-a-kind dishes in the downtown Baton Rouge area.

We almost left because it was busy and we didn't get waited on in 10 minutes and then out of the blue one of the best servers on the planet emerged to take care of us: Stephanie is fabulous so ask for her if you ever visit here. The Wagyu steak was over the top excellent (be prepared to pay $70) Just a good old fashioned steak house downtown, close to convention center, concerts and clubs. If you like fine dining this is the place! They also have small bites and great appetizers if you have a smaller appetite.
